Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM)
resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …

In the past decade, the research field that uses arrays of high-index-contrast near-
wavelength dielectric structures on flat surfaces, known as high-contrast metastructures …

Increasing the interaction between light and mechanical resonators is an ongoing endeavor
in the field of cavity optomechanics. Optical microcavities allow for boosting the interaction …

Light scattering by a two-dimensional photonic-crystal slab (PCS) can result in marked
interference effects associated with Fano resonances. Such devices offer appealing …

The ability to continuously tune the wavelength of a laser is of critical importance and is a
fundamental building block for many optical systems, including wavelength division …

Nanosecond laser ablated metallic surfaces showed initial super-hydrophilicity, and then
experienced gradual wettability conversion to super-hydrophobicity with the increase of …

We report a high-contrast metastructure (HCM) mirror as a novel beam-sha** element for
vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The metastructure is monolithically …

Cavity optomechanics explores the coupling between optical and mechanical modes
mediated by the radiation pressure force. Unlike the passive scheme, the active …

We demonstrate the room-temperature operation of a two-dimensional (2D) high-contrast
grating (HCG) vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) at 1080 nm. To the best of our …

High-fidelity quantum optomechanical control of a mechanical oscillator requires the ability
to perform efficient, low-noise operations on long-lived phononic excitations. Microfabricated …
